Volkswagen Jetta vs Chevrolet Malibu

My wife is torn between the Jetta or the Malibu. I know this is a VW forum but please try to have an open mind.The Jetta is the Wolfsburg edition. (turbo,auto, leather, heated seats).......21/29 MPG.The Malibu has the 2LT package. (equipped just about the same as the Jetta).......22/30 MPG.I have read that the turbo that VW is putting in the Jetta is not the most reliabilable. Also VW's are more expensive to repair compared to GM. Also the Jetta runs on premium where the Malibu needs regular. This would not be a deciding factor.With all things being equal (options, price) which one should she get and why.We have never owned a VW always GM. We like the Jetta but never having one we are a little nervous.Thanks for the replys.
